Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I never got to meet the wonderful and magnificent person that you were. I wish I did and some day I will! We both know now that your father is with you as with mine. As i sit here and mourn, I am jealous that you are with both. I learned at the ripe age of 10 years old that death is a part of life. I didn't like that at all! I was named after your father, my uncle Joel. I want to tell you something, your father was the greatest man I have ever known and I loved him like he was my own father. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about the both of them.

I think of you and miss you daily. I was just watching a CSI show where the
widow did a Google of her police officer husband, killed in the line of duty,
and I just thought I would see what I could find.

Dad is very ill, and he too misses you daily.

Oh, if I could just hold you in my arms one more time. The pain never leaves.
Love, Mom

Diana,

I attended the memorial for Rich at the SJ Arena.

I know that Joel and Rich have met by now. I appreciate your efforts on having the city hang pictures of Rich and Joel.

Please let me know if there is anything we can do to assist in this effort. Or if there is anything else I can do for you.

To Akiko and Joel's family, my husband was the second officer to be killed in the line of duty in East Palo Alto. I am trying to get the department to hang both my husband Rich and Joel's pictures in the lobby where they can both be seen, so the community will never forget them or the sacrifice they made for the city of East Palo Alto.
It's so strange, our oldest daughter was born one day exactly before Joel was killed (6/21/88) she just went away to college, and my husband Rich's badge number was 33 and I noticed Joel's was 32.
I wonder if they have met each other in heaven.

I never knew you, but have been told about you several times. I think about you frequently. You have left a lasting mark on our community.

Brother Davis,

May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And the rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Respectfully,
You’re Brothers in Blue
